If you allow your employees to use their own mobile devices to access your firm’s electronic data – you need a Mobile Device Policy. Included in a Mobile Device Policy should be laptops, hard drives, smart phones, tablets, handheld computers, etc.

Things to consider:

What devices you will allow to access the firm’s electronic data

Having IT review the device to be sure that it is properly secure

How will you allow the device to access the internet (use of free wi-fi)

Passwords used and frequency of change

Remote wipe in the event of loss

Encryption for those devices that allow it

What information they can download to a personal device

How you will remove access once an employee leaves the firm and what information they already have on their personal device
